Love the video. I have tens of thousands of Barbra items in my warehouse storage...but I do not have this.

Frank...how can I get a copy. I am the guy who did Barbra's Hollywood Museum Exhibit...1200 items...50 gowns...exhibit ran longer than a year.

I want to get a Permanent Streisand Museum running in California or NYC...this item would be a great addition to the 60's presentation! Please contact me. 248-225-3158 or lpapalas@peoplepc.com

I enjoyed the video immensely!

I know a Frank Musto and mistakenly wrote the prior not to " Frank" in error. Her is an edit...

The video? it's on YouTube. And it might be a special feature on the DVD of Funny Girl.

To hell with Barbra and her boring costume tests. Where is the clip of nude Omar Sharif as "Nicky," playing with cards and then...himself?
Has anyone ever seen the supposed "porno" clip that reportedly featured a young Barbra? I did, years ago, it obviously wasn't Miss Streisand (those short stubby fingers and bad wig!) but it was shocking to see a nice Jewish girl, whomever she was, performing fellatio. With gusto, I might add.

Dear Michael,

As always, thank you for the intellectual conversation last night with Rita Hayworth's grandson and shutterbug McMullan.

As discussed I thought your readers would like to know the true value of the costumes featured within the Musto YouTube gem AND to show PEOPLE do care about Barbra.

The opening scene of “The Look of Funny Girl” has Barbra Streisand wearing the Irene Sharaff two-piece costume primarily constructed of a Mandarin orange light-wool crepe fabric comprising: a sleeveless gown with criss-cross layered skirt and a frock coat-style jacket with banded Nehru collar, front center button fastening and belt waistline – made for Babs, as Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice, in some key moments during Funny Girl, including when she receives the note and flowers from Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif) and during her performance of the popular culture anthem "Don't Rain on My Parade.” Most memorably she is wearing the costume while on the tugboat in front of the Statue of Liberty belting out the lyrics pointing her bouquet of yellow roses across the horizon.

This highly important costume ensemble (as far as I know) originally sold at Sotheby's Collectors Carrousel, ex-lot #331 in New York on December 16th 1986, with an auction estimate of $600.00 - $800.00.

However, the same famed threads reappeared at a Christie's auction in New York last year as lot #233 on May 30th 2007 and including buyer's premium sold for an astounding $33,600.00.

Yes, $33,600.00 that is correct - I was there.

I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!

One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,

Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!

Ciao,

Brian
